CIE-Group appoints new account manager for SE England

CIE-Group has announced the appointment of Lloyd Wilson to the position of AV account manager, south-east England. Wilson joins from AVM, where he was responsible for internal sales for the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Wilson (pictured) joins CIE-Group as it undergoes an expansion of its sales, technical and support operations to meet new demand.

“Having already had some dealings with the company, I was keen to join CIE-Group when the opportunity arose,” comments Wilson. “The 50th anniversary year has made it an exciting time at CIE-Group, and it is also that clear through its range of brands and value added services [that] the company is offering something new for the AV integrator. I’m looking forward to spreading the word further.”

Steve Collin, group sales director of CIE-Group, adds: “Lloyd has a wealth of AV industry knowledge and experience, plus a proven track record in relationship-building and customer service skills. These qualities make him an outstanding candidate to build and maintain relationships with new and our existing customers in the south-east region. We are delighted that Lloyd has joined the CIE-Group sales team.”

In his new role, Wilson will be working closely with key brands in the CIE-Group portfolio, including CYP, 2N, InterM, Atlas Sound and Clockaudio.
